Kanye West's first Yeezy basketball sneaker is likely to be banned by the NBA because its reflective heels would be too much of a distraction for fans.
The sneakers, which West designed for Adidas, currently feature reflective 3M panels on the heels which glow dramatically when hit with bright lights.
The glowing heels, industry sources told ESPN, would be too much of a potential distraction from the game for fans at the arena and at home, which is why the YZY BSKTBL sneakers are expected to be banned from being worn on court.
NBA sources told ESPN that Kanye West's new Yeezy basketball sneakers are likely to be banned from use in games due to the how distracting the reflective 3M heel panels would be
The likely ban is based on images of the basketball sneakers that West began unveiling on social media in mid-September.
The NBA's new wear-any-color-sneaker-players-want rule goes into effect with the start of the 2018-2019 season in October, but the NBA still has final say over any sneaker brand's new silhouettes being offered for use in game.
ESPN reported that NBA's vice president of identity, outfitting and equipment, Christopher Arena, said that new sneaker designs are usually shown to the NBA in August if they're to be used during the first half of the season.
Shoes worn following the All-Star break in February would need to be shown for approval no later than early December.
Kanye West said that he had created 300 samples of the new basketball sneakers over the course of three years spend developing them. No release date or prices has been released yet
NBA sources said that the Yeezy sneakers would likely be approved without the 3M panels
It appears as though the Yeezy basketball sneakers have not yet been submitted for NBA approvals.
However, sources told ESPN that should the reflective 3D panel be removed from the sneakers in question, it's likely that they would be approved for in-game usage.
Carmelo Anthony, playing with the New York Knicks at the time, was said to have had a similar problem with the high-shine finish of his Jordan M10 sneakers, which featured a chrome-finish heel. To appease the NBA, he apparently wore a revamped version of the sneakers on court which featured a matte finished-heel instead.
No release date or price point for the Yeezy basketball sneakers has been released yet, but it's thought that the shoes will debut at some point during the 2018-2019 NBA season and be worn by Adidas-backed players.
On Twitter, West wrote that he had made 'over 300 samples' of the Yeezy basketball sneakers over the course of three years spent designing them.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
